5.0 out of 5 stars This book ROCKS!, April 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Daily Dose of the American Dream: Stories of Success, Triumph, and Inspiration (Hardcover)

I have read this book twice, have given several copies as gifts, and hear myself quoting from it on occasion. It's amazing how the success stories of others can inspire us to realize our own dreams. This is a perfect gift for graduates, Mother's Day and Father's Day, and award presentations for any business-minded person. I especially like the practical lessons that Mr. Elliott draws from the real-life experiences of people like Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Andy Griffith, Mary Kay, and Martin Luther King, Jr. We all need heros and role models like these.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book of inspirational success stories., April 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Daily Dose of the American Dream: Stories of Success, Triumph, and Inspiration (Hardcover)

I highly recommend this very interesting book of stories of success and inspiration. There is a one-page story for each day of the year. These stories provide interesting facts about successful Americans as well as information on how they became successful. Each story ends with a comment concerning how it can be applied to your own life. It is a very good book!
